Help picking out an unusual wheel style.
 
So I know I posted a thread already asking for help picking the size of my future wheels. I originally intended to put some American Racing Torq Thrust IIs on my 98 Camaro.

However, recently, I got a great idea for what I want to do with the overall style of my car. I came across some pics of cars painted up to look like airplanes. Panel lines, rivets, star and bar symbol, the works. And I'm REALLY liking it. Gettin' ready to dress my Camaro up like that.

So it's gonna need some wheels to match and the Torq Thrusts just don't really belong on "plane". Here's some pics for reference:

They ofcourse don't have to be exact just something that has the general style. Budget is $200 per wheel.
I was thinking some drag wheels but not seeing much for that budget that looks close. Plus most drag wheels are tough to find in 16" or 17" sizes.

Although, if worst comes to worst I can throw some plain looking 5 or 10 spoke wheels on there and it should atleast look OK.

CenterLine wheels. They have several styles in 15, 17, 18 & 20 inch diameters.

Most modern aircraft wheels are now of 3 piece design. Inner, outer rim half, & center disc.
